#WinnieMandelaFuneral “Life was neither something you defended by hiding nor surrendered calmly on other people's terms, but something you lived bravely, out in the open, and that if you had to lose it, you should lose it on your own terms.” Edwige Danticat
It's time we did something about this - please sign: awethu.amandla.mobi/petition…
I really can't add to what everyone is saying - just thank you, @Eusebius , seems like a tiny word for the huge presence your show has been as we morphed, stumble at the abyss...you helped us individually, maybe collectively to gain insight. thank you
.@Eusebius your show was a beautiful mix of critical engagement and public therapy.
You elevated the public debate, and dignified your profession, at a critical moment in our young democracy.
All the best for the future. Take a bow! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Today, 01st February 2020, marks the 46th anniversary of the brutal assassination of Black Consciousness leader, Onkgopotse Ramothibi Tiro, by apartheid agents. Tiro was killed with a parcel bomb while living in exile in Botswana in 1974. To date, no one ever accounted.
is it correct to dismiss a crime/incident if it's older than a decade? to not bring same to legal process? @pierredevos #GordhanvsPublicProtector #JudgeSuletPotterill
#GordhanvsPublicProtector was LAWFARE differentiating between truth and lies, evidence & opinions, politics & law
#PP legal team ..when they argue that interdict on #Ghordhan matter will damage her reputation🤭Khanti didn't court rule already damage her reputation? #GhordahnvsPublicProtector
#ZondoInquiry hot at this moment,Up to now - #Zuma parrot fashion like answered questions, by quoting the 'process', but it's not working with regard to Barbara Hogan's testimony - even #ZumaLawyers are worried when he dances around the questions #StateCaptureInquiry
It is the certainty that they possess the truth - that makes men cruel. -Anatole France #dailythought #ThursdayMotivation

Like violence, insults are the language of the disempowered #DailyThought
#NewCabinet @CyrilRamaphosa needs to meet with Arts&Culture sector. Making same mistake every Pres has made since '94..Like the parent who discourage the child to venture into A&C because they see it as a 'hobby"....

I'm sorry - looting a country is BLACK privilege?
What colour were the British who came and looted our mineral wealth, most of which is still sitting overseas? Or the Apartheid leaders who continued to do it?
You really need to do some reading.

#HelenZille GENERALISING about a race = RACISM. Sometimes what you hold true (racism) spills out brutally & honestly when your mind age. Even if she apologises, this statements shows uncontrollable rage against Blacks,
